Tuesday Video: Owl Just Be Riding My Horse
This owl is quite possibly a better rider than all of us.
Really, what’s left to say? Watch this owl ride this moving toy horse (bonus points if you turn the sound up) and realize that we are so lucky to bask in its presence. While we at Horse Nation condone the use of helmets any time one is mounted, we’ll make an allowance for this owl, mostly because he’s adorable and also because his riding skills are clearly top-notch.
(Note: must be logged in to Facebook to view.)
Done. That is all I need to see today. What a time to be alive.
Go riding!
